PBBM vows to rehabilitate typhoon-hit shelters in Cagayan
President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr., on Nov. 10, 2024, he assured that the government will immediately rebuild the houses destroyed by Typhoon Marce in Cagayan.
In his speech during the distribution of financial aid in Buguey, Cagayan, President Marcos said he has brought all relevant government agencies to ensure that all aid is transferred to those who are homeless by Marce.
“Hindi kaya ng isang the door sit down. Over time, you feel comfortable this is what we call the whole-of-government approach. Ibig sabihin, lahat ng iba’t ibang departamento kahit papaano ay makakadala ng tulong at ng samagi para mabigyan ng relief, para ma– release healthy food, healthy food to be free,” said President Marcos.
“Now, next time Cagayan, I haven’t heard anything reconstruction dahil ‘yung sa… public infrastructure, ok namanit’s not that bad. Of course which is confidential I live, ‘yun na nga, nasira. Kaya’t ‘yun ang tututukan natin,” he added.
The President said the government will not abandon the victims until they fully recover from the effects of this typhoon. He said the assistance provided by the Department of Social Development (DSWD) will continue.
President Marcos gave P10 million each to the municipalities of Aparri, Buguey, Sanchez-Mira, Santa Teresita, Baggao, Gattaran, Gonzaga, and Santa Ana. These funds were received by their senior local officials.
He also witnessed the distribution of aid from various government agencies – the DSWD, the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), the National Irrigation Administration (NIA), and the Department of Agriculture (DA). | PND
